In an unexpected turn of events on Saturday, Michigan triumphed over the No. 2 ranked Ohio State with a narrow 13-10 victory, thanks to Dominic Zvada's clutch 21-yard field goal with just 45 seconds to go. The Wolverines made headlines with their unanticipated win, marking their fourth consecutive triumph against their arch-enemies, the Buckeyes. Kalel Mullings was instrumental with a critical 27-yard dash that placed Michigan in scoring position at the 17-yard line. Despite Ohio State's attempts to retaliate, the Wolverines' defense held strong, and the Buckeyes faltered in their final drive when Will Howard threw an incomplete pass on fourth down, concluding the game. Michigan's defense played admirably, confining a usually potent Ohio State offense to just 10 points. This shocking defeat devastated the Buckeyes as they were heavy favorites, with many seasoned leaders aiming to beat Michigan at least once this season. The game was not only impactful on the field but also post-game, where tensions flared up with players clashing on the field, requiring police intervention. Meanwhile, Ohio State, with its seniors disheartened, still looks towards playoff opportunities, while Michigan will prepare for a minor bowl game.
